The recruiting process was initially thorough well-organized through five rounds of interviews, and communication from the recruiter was consistently prompt and professional throughout. However, after receiving an email inviting me to schedule a final round interview with the senior leadership and submitting my availability that same day, all communication stopped. Despite two follow-up emails over the following two weeks, I literally never received a response, a scheduled interview, or a formal rejection email. The recruiter completely ghosted me. Considering the significant time investment required of candidates in this process, including multiple interview rounds and a full marketing strategy presentation to a panel (for which they asked me to spend 5+ hours on) I would have appreciated a simple note acknowledging the delay or communicating that the position was no longer moving forward. A two-sentence email would have been an easy and respectful thing to do. Candidates invest considerable time and energy in good faith, and they deserve the same courtesy in return.
